This book explores integrating machine learning techniques and sensor applications for human emotion and activity recognition, creating personalized and effective support systems. It covers state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and large language models using multimodal sensors. Enhancing the quality of life for individuals with special needs, particularly the elderly, is a key focus in Active and Assisted Living (AAL) research. Unlike other literature, it emphasizes support mechanisms along with recognition, using metamodel integration for adaptable AAL systems. This book offers insights into technologies transforming AAL for researchers, students, and practitioners. It is a valuable resource for developing responsive and personalized support systems that enhance life quality in smart environments. It is also essential for advancing the understanding of machine learning and sensor technologies in AAL and emotion recognition. 

This book contains a collection of recent advanced contributions in the field of nonlinear dynamics and synchronization, including selected applications in the area of theoretical electrical engineering. The present book is divided into twenty-one chapters grouped in five parts. The first part focuses on theoretical issues related to chaos and synchronization and their potential applications in mechanics, transportation, communication and security. The second part handles dynamic systems modelling and simulation with special applications to real physical systems and phenomena. The third part discusses some fundamentals of electromagnetics (EM) and addresses the modelling and simulation in some real physical electromagnetic scenarios. The fourth part mainly addresses stability concerns. Finally, the last part assembles some sample applications in the area of optimization, data mining, pattern recognition and image processing.
